To all Omega / Jupiter fans, have any of you seen an aircraft carrier, they are long/big/slow to move ships and do not get into any fire fights. They stay outside the battle zone!!! So, that design would mean the ship needs to be Extra big to hold a large number of fighters/shuttles/runabouts, that is why most Starships need a secondary hull in Federation designs. Huge starship people!!! Limited fire power with 3 to 4 squadrons will be needed to do battle
Actually, the Galaxy-class has its primary hangars at the aft edge of the saucer. So does the Odyssey if you look closely at the model. It's only on the smaller ships like the Connie and Intrepid where they use the secondary hull. The secondary hull tends to be taken up mainly by the matter/antimatter reactor that powers the warp drive.

Looking back, I think I should've just gone with my original thoughts of Sigma..Omega will likely trounce any designit comes up against, even my precious Alpha!
Yes I have seen an aircraft carrier...was stationed on one for 5 years. The main reason why carriers are so big is the flight deck. Planes don't just take off they need help. They require 30 knots of wind to provide the proper lift. Carriers turn into the wind to provide this and on days of no wind crank up the engines to simulate the wind.
all of which is not necessary in space. So they don't need to be these gargantuan star ships...they only need to be big enough to carry their compliment of star fighters.

Your pain runs deep.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
Kinda impressive that the results were 2:1 Omega the entire time; it never deviated much from that ratio. I wonder if Epsilon vs. Omega will be the same...

We already closed the votes, whether or not this is closed isn't really important.
Heh... that's funny, cause I didn't vote till I posted that comment and the looser went up by one.
(and I got tagged as TeamSigma)
So it wasn't closed at midnight last night but sometime after 12:03 EDT my time today. (09:03 PDT your time)
I guess 'Importance' is in the eye of the beholder.
I get that it won't be done till you get into the office in the morning, but if your going to post an Official Closing Time, perhaps you shouldn't use a time when there isn't anybody in the office.

Here, let me clarify.
I come check the votes across all platforms and languages at midnight (because sleep is really irrelevant) at the stated time. This ends up being either a Wednesday or a Saturday. Afterwards, I add up those, calculate out the percentages, and declare a winner. This is done earlier than when the next voting round happens because I need to then subsequently create and format the assets to send to my EU partners (who work in a different timezone than me).
You can vote after the stated cut-off time, theoretically, but it won't count for anything. EDIT: For instance, it's not like we're deleting the Facebook voting posts. You could go onto the Facebook page and vote for TeamBeta all you want, but it won't do anything. So it's really a moot point.
Wow...
I didn't think you'd even bother to read my rant, let alone respond.
My apologies, sometimes even I forget that there's a real person at the other end.
Especially after I've come home from a double shift at work dealing with impatient and rude patients and visitors at the hospital.
I'll try to curtail my rumblings in the future.

You're fine. I just don't explicitly comment frequently on the nature of the voting process and specifics because I generally have been keeping that to myself to avoid shining light on it. The more the back-end process is clarified, the more exploitation can be potentially done to it. I have some contingencies to prevent exploitation, but it's still something that I'm cautious about.
I have literally hundreds upon hundreds of posts on the forums per day. It's hard to keep up with them, but I tries .

Myself I believe Tie Fighters would be more realistic.

I wish the flight decks of the other ships were highlighted as well.
